UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Romero – Winners and losers

Karim Zidan delves into the real winners and losers from Saturday night’s UFC Fight Night event from Hollywood, Florida.

At the tail end of a surprisingly difficult week for ZUFFA, the UFC hosted a Fight Night event in Hollywood, Florida, which left much to be desired, even though it was far from the promotion's fault. Visa issues and injuries marred the card beyond repair and left behind a nine-fight card, one that was unable to hide behind the guise of exciting finishes throughout the night.

However, the event did end on a poignant note, as it showcased the rise of a new middleweight contender and the fall of a former light-heavyweight champion.
